Hi pasta, yes the tank is in the bilge behind the rear seat. where the old one was, which had a leak and the bulkhead needed to be cut for the top pulley. the new tank is taller wider, but 3'' narrowed. so its still a 80 gal tank. pics will be this week we have a bunch.

had surgery again last week, not planned:angry-smiley-038: but got the gas tank all tabbed in. getting the foam monday and painting bilge. tuesday motor goes in. then we pick up where he left off last aug. running lines for water and oil. hope to have that done in a few days, then elec harness location msd and stuff install konrad drive hook up lines. so 2 weeks should be done. pics I'll try and post this week.but we used kevlar for the double bulkhead and tabbing. and everybody say a prayer for HIGH LIFE Mike lost his life saturday at a get together in Boston harbor in his 27 mag. He was a xracer from the good old days and was very helpful to a lot of people on here. we just got through talking about putting a extra gas tank in my boat, he had 5. God speed Mike

well getting there motor is in now wiring harness then tran and throttle hook ups plus lay out coolers 2 and put them in over the next few days. I owe a lot to Gerry from KNOT RIGHT. thanks pal. its bed time later

OK lets get this fuker floating. Did the sea strainer today couldnt have come out better. Brackets and coolers all mounted and set in place. The trans is hooked up and ready to shift. Oil fittings were hung off the block also.. Installed the block offs in the filetr housing. Ned to get the water pick up in then plumb the water system. Fuel pump and plumbing is needed.

thanks Mike this was in the rain out side we made a pop tent. and thanks for the ride during the run ha ha. the cig ran great see you this week :coolcowboy:.

I got pics but been busy ha ha. motor looks mean with the candy red paint with black add ons. I should of painted the bilge white, but kept the grey. it should be running by the end of the week with Gerry and Mike banging away:coolcowboy:. man we went through a lot of ss and an fitting last week. just need to get water out lets figured out for parts monday, then shipped 2 day or over night again.theres a lot more plumbing than in my 650hp motor. so this week pics:party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004:. art

wow so much for a week, but ITS A LIVE. Gerry took a vid today cause I forgot my camera, so sunday I should have pics posted and vid by monday. man this is a BEAST ,I never had my ears ringing from a lil blurp of the throttle off idiol to 3800rpm wow. blower surge is 600 to 1100rpm sound just nasty with 5'' tails and 2 1/4 id header runners = about 2/3/4''od wow.hitting water this week to see what a 17 1/2'' X =3'' drive shaft height will do on a SABER28:evilb:. I think fine since Boxer raised his without a box to 3 3/8'' and picked up more speed mid 90s in a 31 sutphen 950hp. I hope the saber goes much better with the konrad ace xfactor drive. wow 1 year and 11 months. this spring need to add bigger or mod bolsters and cut outs for legs and extra gas tank.:bigbird:

cool.... we need PICS! i always liked that saber!
